It is funny I have been thinking a lot about our calling's recently and I was reading a Passage from Numbers 3, it is talking about God calling the levities. I have made two distinct observations, first God called them!

It was not that they wanted to be involved in the running of the temple, God called them!! He wanted them, they were not going out looking for position or to further themselves. I think so often we get involved in ministry for the wrong reason, especially when it is a visible ministry, we like people to notice what we are doing and how that makes us important, needed, valuable etc...

Second it says a few times in that chapter , "They were responsible for the care of the sanctuary on behalf of the Israelites. Anyone else who approached the sanctuary was to be put to death." There is just no bullying your way into a ministry, either you are asked in or you are not in! I think we often want to push our way in, and some times the timing is just not right, or we are trying to get into the wrong ministry. I do think God has a plan for all of us, it is just that we will all not be the front men or in the spot light, we need to be willing to serve God in what ever He wants us to do.

So God please help me to be totally willing to do what you want me to do and when you want me to do it, I want all my actions to be your best wishes and plans for me.
